*Making Surveillance States: Transnational Histories*
Edited by Robert Heynen and Emily van der Meulen

/Making Surveillance States/ opens up new and exciting perspectives on 
how systems of state surveillance developed over the nineteenth and 
twentieth centuries. Taking a transnational approach, the book 
challenges us to rethink the presumed novelty of contemporary 
surveillance practices, while developing critical analyses of the ways 
in which state surveillance has profoundly shaped the emergence of 
contemporary societies.____
